After the Bills and Raiders offered us a brief
delay in the endless routs, last week went right back to form, the Pats
and Colts, both huge favorites, crushed their ways to easy
wins. In the 1PM games, the Pats, Colts, Chargers, Packers
all cruised to easy wins.

In the late games the Saints looked doomed both
for the win and the cover, but then rallied for both in a huge comeback. Only the late game had the Giants fail to cover,
and they lost on the field. After that minor reprieve the bookies went
right back to losing as the Eagles got all the bets, and
won with ease. The most common ‘exotic’ bet on Monday Night Football is
a parlay of ‘the favorite and the over’ and that parlay
hit last night, so the continued bloodletting for Vegas does not relent.

The lines have to go up, the horrible nature of
the worst teams in the NFL will force massive changes to the lines.

And you’ll see it this week, we have lines on
12 games, and 5 of them are double digits, and it’s only going to continue, Vegas will continue to add points till the favorites
stop covering, but who knows when that will be.

5-0!!!!

Finally we hit one. Bartcop readers are apparently
a sharp lot of football bettors, many 4-1’s and a 5-0 this week, we need to bring these results to some group
with capital to start a sports betting company.

I think I misplaced Bartcop’s picks, I know he
sent me an E-mail but I didn’t see it when I did my column, so all I can say is sorry boss, if you went 5-0
also just hunt down that E-mail and send it back to me!
